Hotkey Window allows for changing hot keys assigned to various functions in Cascadeur. It can be opened by selecting Hotkey editor from the Settings menu.

Overview

The Filter field is located at the top left corner of the window. As the name suggests, it can be used to find functions to which hot keys can be binded.

The window includes a number of lists, each containing names for several functions along with corresponding hot keys. The image above shows the Camera Orientation Tool list.

Managing Keys

Binding Keys

To assign a hot key to a function:

3. Press the key (or a combination of keys) you want to assign to the function.
The key you've pressed should appear in the text field

If the key you want to set is already used for some other function, this warning will appear:

Click Yes to reassign the key to the new function, or click No to leave it and choose another key
